Dunno what to make of all that considering they're trialling a Sunday delivery!

You can't economy of scale if others are going to compete on money making routes

I like this story because it contains the sentence "If TNT Post UK is successful in delivering its stated objectives, this could threaten the fundamental economics of the universal service."
I just want to move those words around to make even better sentences.

A business model that only works if there's no competition isn't really a business model.

Well there's the perennial question about what services we require as a society and which of those should be 'a business' and which shouldn't. In between the dogmatic extremes of the neo-conservative and the communist, the rest of us have to find a point we feel comfortable.

You are bad sons and daughters and also bad patrons of the Royal Mail.
